Li Xiao finally moved away, the maid next to him lifted the curtain, and the queen hurried all the way. After leaving Taiye Palace, she immediately touched her heart that kept shaking, and the mammy hurriedly supported her: "Niangniang..."
The queen did not speak.
She clearly realized one thing, Li Xiao would kill her, when he approached her, the whole figure condensed into a sharp ice cone, which would stab at her heart at any time.
Li Xiao was terrifying when he was crazy, but he was irrational at that time, but when he was awake, it was the most terrifying thing, because you couldn't guess what he wanted to do, she gradually stabilized her body and walked forward At the time, she suddenly encountered the prince, and she immediately took a few steps to stop Li Yang: "Where are you going?"
"See the Queen Mother." Li Yang bowed and replied, "I heard that the imperial grandmother has been freezing for the past two days, so my son will take a look."
"Now, your eldest brother is inside."
Li Yang's face was overjoyed: "Is the imperial sister-in-law also?"
The queen looked complicated: "Do you want to see him?"
"I've heard about what happened during this time, and I'm a little curious." Li Yang said, "I just went to the Xiang's mansion, and my grandfather was still asleep, so I didn't bother."
The queen frowned, Li Yang didn't know what she was thinking, and said, "The minister went there first."
He walked towards Taiye Palace with his mother's silent acquiescence, and the queen turned to look at his figure. The prince was not as tall as Li Xiao, and his stature was a little thin. , he has no idea how much his mother secretly did for him."
"When he becomes the lord of the country in the future, he will naturally understand."
"No..." The Queen said, "If he wants to be an emperor, he must have a good reputation. This is what Your Majesty hopes. I push him up with my own hands, so I can't destroy him."
"My lady..."
The queen walked forward step by step and whispered: "As long as the prince is here, I must be the perfect mother of the country. Even if I do something wrong, your majesty will not speak up or move me."
In the Taiye Palace, Li Yang walked all the way, and when he saw Li Xiao when he entered the door, he smiled and saluted: "Brother the Great Emperor, Sister-in-law of the Great Emperor."
Song Song returned the salute, but Li Xiao just nodded lightly, took the pastry that Song Song just handed over to study again and again, and seemed to be entangled in what looked like such a sweet thing, where to start talking.
Li Yang was ignored by him, and it was not surprising that he hurriedly sat over when he was called by the imperial grandmother.
The queen mother did not mention the queen in front of Li Yang, she often smiled and seemed to like this grandson very much.
Song Song looked at each other quietly, the prince was still as he remembered, gentle and jade-like, but a little childish in front of his grandmother. Obviously, the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is good on weekdays.
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Li Yang peeking at him, Song Song smiled generously, Li Yang also smiled slightly, and glanced at his stomach quietly, and for some reason, his cheeks suddenly floated up. A blush.
"Did you go see your grandfather?"
Li Yang said: "I have seen it, he fell asleep."
The queen mother said with a smile: "This is so troublesome that Ai's family will not be able to sleep when he is still the prime minister."
"The grandmother is joking. Since grandfather dares to gamble, he can afford to lose."
His face was taken for granted, and he didn't seem to take Qin Xiang and Zhao Taishi's game to heart at all. Song Song blinked, his mouth was suddenly blocked by a piece of cake, Li Xiao said, "It's not delicious."
This was the piece he gave Li Xiao just now. He took a bite and seemed to find it unpalatable, but he returned it.
Song Song smashed the slag with one hand, ate the rest of him in small bites, and complained, "Why are you so picky?"
Li Xiao raised his eyebrows and brought his lips to Song Song's ear: "If you don't pick your mouth when eating you, you can eat it anywhere."
The low voice pressed against Song Song's ear, causing him to itch slightly. He immediately shrank his neck, turned his head and glared at him, feeling more and more that this person was not serious.
Li Xiao smiled and said, "Grandma, if there is nothing else, we will go back first."
"Hey... Why don't you stay and talk to Ayan for a while? Let's have a quick meal by the way."
"When you have time, brothers and sisters, let's gather at Fuxianglou. Forget it today, it's getting dark."
Li Yang stood up and watched them go out, then sat down slowly, and said, "I didn't expect that the eldest sister-in-law would be able to give birth to an offspring. Now it's good, you and the royal father don't have to worry that he will be left unattended in his later years."
"If you have nothing to do, run around the palace and build a good relationship with your eldest brother. If you ascend the throne in the future, he will be willing to assist you."
Li Yang lowered his eyelashes, peeled off the chestnuts in his hands, and said, "Eldest brother doesn't like me very much."
"You two brothers were the best in the past, and you have to be good in the future."
Li Yang fed the peeled chestnuts to the old lady, and said with relief, "leave us alone, just eat and drink and take care of yourself."
Song Song put on the cloak outside, and Li Xiao and Li Xiao helped each other to tie the belt. After they went out, it was already dark, and they walked slowly along the spacious stone road in the palace. Song Song couldn't help saying: "What is the prince? What kind of person is he?"
"As you see it."
Song Song said, "He doesn't look much like the Queen."
"My father has taught our brother and brother Gong since childhood. He is the most worried about our brothers, so our brothers are not completely raised by our respective mothers. It is convenient to cultivate our relationship, and when we are older, our father will assign us a palace, brothers study together during the day, sleep together at night, and it is convenient to visit our mother in the palace together.”
Song Song looked envious and said, "Then you must have been very lively when you were young."
"The brothers had a very good relationship when they were young." Li Xiao held the soft fingers he was raised, Xu Shi was caught in the memory and did not speak any more.
Song Song raised his eyes to look at him, and then silently retracted his gaze. When he was young, he had a good relationship, but has it changed later? After the poisoning started
He suddenly wanted to know Li Xiao's past, everything, his happiness, his disappointment, his anger or other various emotions, but Li Xiao didn't say it, and he didn't dare to ask too deep, which one he was afraid of. will make him unhappy.
The two got into the carriage, Li Xiao habitually hugged him like a pet, and Song Song was held obediently until Li Xiao said, "Do you have something to ask?"
"No… "
Li Xiao kissed him on the cheek and said, "If you want to ask, ask, there is nothing that can't be said between you and me."
Song Song blinked and said, "Your Highness is pressing the Queen step by step today, is it intentional?"
"Scared?"
Song Song shook his head, and after a while, nodded again, and said, "I feel that she looks at me strangely, as if... she has murderous intentions."
Li Xiao hugged him soothingly and said, "Do you know why the crown prince doesn't know anything about what the queen did?"
"I originally thought that the prince should be a person with a deep city, but after several contacts, it seems that this is not the case."
"Because there are some things the queen has done, she dare not let him know. She knows that although the father and the emperor love me, he also loves the prince. If the prince gets into this muddy water, he will no longer be the son he loves. already."
Song Song said it at one point: "Once the crown prince loses His Majesty's favor, the crown prince will not be able to keep his position. If the Queen really does something wrong, His Majesty will not tolerate her anymore."
Li Xiao pressed step by step, in order to force the queen to take action.
Now that Li Xiao is getting stronger and stronger, if the madness and poison were really done by the queen, she must be in a hurry by now. Because once the matter is exposed, under the premise of Li Xiao's complete sobriety, His Majesty will give up the crown prince to support Li Xiao without hesitation. At that time, there will be no crown prince, the future heir, to protect her. She must pay the price for what she has done. Together with the Qin family.
But if Li Xiao was still crazy, it would be different.
Even if she really did such a thing, the emperor would turn a blind eye, because she is the biological mother of the prince, the emperor has to consider the reputation of the prince in the future, everything she does will be annihilated under the throne, Like it never happened.
Now that the queen has no way out, let Li Xiao go, her previous actions will not only fall short, but even suffer backlash, and she will get nothing. She could only kill Li Xiao or make Li Xiao completely useless in the eyes of Emperor Hongren before the crown prince changed hands. Li Xiao is highly skilled in martial arts, and it is almost impossible to kill him. If he wants to plan and calculate, it will take time.
But for the empress, she didn't have much time. First, Qin Ning temporarily handed over the military power about the Tianzi Tower, and then lost money about the gambling. Li Xiao also found out the old stories, and now this matter has become a problem. The sharp blade was hanging over her head and could fall at any moment.
The most convenient and quick way is to kill Song Song and let Li Xiao continue to go crazy.
Song Song suddenly felt a little scared.
The queen asked someone to invite him over today, but she really decided to start.
He immediately rubbed against Li Xiao's arms, and said sullenly, "I don't want to die."
"I won't let you die."
Song Song felt some grievances in his heart. If Li Xiao wanted the queen to kill him, even for the great cause... He would inevitably feel uncomfortable for a while, and kept saying that he didn't want him to die, what if the queen really succeeded
As if seeing his loss, Li Xiao pinched the tip of his nose and said, "Don't think wildly, I never thought of putting you in danger."
"I do not believe."
"What am I still doing when you die?" Li Xiao said, "Killing you means killing me. I might as well kill myself first."
Song Song's heart was already a little sweet because of his two words, but he still ignored Li Xiao and said forcefully, "Humph!"
He grabbed Li Xiao's clothes, raised his lips secretly, and inevitably thought, since it wasn't for the queen to kill him, what was it for
Between calcium carbide and fire, Song Song suddenly thought clearly.
Killing yourself is just an expedient measure, and it is impossible to completely solve the Queen's worries.
Although Qin Ning temporarily handed over military power, Prime Minister Qin's power in the capital should not be underestimated. If he is the queen, then he must usurp the throne before things are completely revealed and his power is gradually weakened.
Although there is only one chance of death, it is totally worth the risk compared to sitting still.
Once successful, there is nothing to worry about.
This is what Li Xiao really wants to see.
Song Song held her breath for a while, in shock.
The carriage carried them back to the palace, Song Song was carried down from above by him, and after landing, he peeked at him, Li Xiao raised his eyebrows, and Song Song hurriedly looked back.
He walked towards the main house, quietly opened some distance from Li Xiao, but Li Xiao reached out and dragged him over, put his arm on his shoulder, and said sideways, "What's wrong?"
"… No."
Li Xiao narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you afraid of me?"
"Well." Song Song whispered, "I think I should be afraid."

Cowardly: Be politely afraid.
